Iraqi Prelate Tells of the Good Going On

Before it could be argued that everything was under U.S. control. Now there is a U.N. resolution and power is in the hands of the Iraqi government."

too bad we can no longer relish the distinction of being one of the few nations who have contributed for the good of another in need, of the few who acted instead of criticizing, or of the few who had the guts to do the right thing instead of caving in to the demands of the wicked.
